Papua New Guinea has the largest rain forestry
in Asia Pacific. It is also where the largest land grabbing is happening in
modern history. From 2014 to 2016, Global Witness has tracked a
supply chain of 9,000 miles from rain forestry in PNG to
retail stores in the United States. Global wood trade has caused
illegal deforestation, environmental degradation and invasion to
the life of indigenous people in PNG. Our guest for this episode is
Yin Beibei from Global Witness, who is in charge of the NGO’s
forestry program in Asia Pacific region. She traced the footprint
of woods from rain forestry and shared her story in tracking
illegal wood trade in PNG.
